Chapter 439: Baekje pleads guilty

Li Shimin did not bring his soldiers with him like Zhang Yunwen to strengthen his momentum, but after the Goryeo army surrendered, he asked them to return to their hometowns by themselves, and said affectionately: "Go back, there is no need to fight!" ”

This sentence touched those Goryeo soldiers very much. There is no need to fight, this peaceful day is coming!

So the Goryeo soldiers cheered and took off their hoods and threw them into the sky to celebrate. Then, groups of Koreans dressed in ordinary linen clothes went to the barracks and returned to their homes, ready to live a peaceful life.

Only those generals who were originally Goryeo nobles had to return to Pyongyang with the Tang army.

Along the way, Li Shimin was kind and powerful to these Goryeo generals, and soon recovered these people, and they were desperate for Li Shimin.

After arriving in Pyongyang, Zhang Yunwen handed over all the affairs of Pyongyang to Li Shimin, including Yuan Gai Suwen.

In the Goryeo Imperial Palace, which had been partially burned, Lee Se-min received Yuangae Su-moon, who was already a prisoner.

At this time, Yuangai Suwen's face was still tied up by five flowers. When he was escorted into the Goryeo Palace, there was still a slight sneer on his face.

Standing in the main hall, Yuan Gai Suwen glanced at Li Shimin and the civil and military ministers on both sides with an arrogant face, and then turned his head and looked at the pillars of the main hall.

"The rebellious ministers and thieves are so bold that they despise the Holy One!" Seeing that Yuangai Suwen was already a prisoner under the ranks, and he dared to be so presumptuous, some ministers immediately came out to reprimand him.

Yuangai Suwen glanced at the minister, and smiled disdainfully: "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, and the ministers despise it!" Although he said that, looking at that look, it was clearly ** naked contempt.

The minister wanted to argue again, but when he saw Li Shimin waving his hand, he had to retreat into the queue sullenly.

Li Shimin glanced at Yuan Gai Suwen, who was tied up tightly, and ordered the guards: "Untie up!" ”

Two guards stepped forward and untied the rope.

"Yuangai Suwen, do you have something to say?" Li Shimin looked at Yuan Gai Suwen and said majestically.

Yuangai Suwen glanced at Li Shimin deeply, and reluctantly bowed, after all, he ordered himself to be loosened: "The foreign minister has nothing to say!" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he said angrily: "Nothing to say? Of course you have nothing to say! Murdering kings and plotting rebellion is the first, and attacking other countries is the last. The Tang Dynasty launched an army to attack you, and you actually planned in many ways to drag the army to death! Do you really think that my Tang army is the same as the former Sui army? ”

Hearing this, Yuangai Suwen lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing Yuan Gai Suwen's appearance, Li Shimin reprimanded him even more: "The former Rongliu King is quite deferential to this dynasty, and pays tribute every year, which is deeply appreciated. But you led the troops into the palace, slaughtered all the Gao royal family, and set up a puppet. In this way, is there still the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, and is there a general ethics? What's more, the unrighteous army of Erxing crusaded against Silla, causing the lives to be ruined, and the people to be displaced, which was a great crime! If you don't kill you, why are the people angry, and why are you upright! After speaking, Li Shimin faintly had the intention of immediately dragging Yuan Gai Suwen out and cutting it down.

You must know that Li Shimin treats the leaders of those enemy countries very leniently, such as the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks, after being captured, he was sent to Chang'an, and Li Shimin also gave him an official title and let him retire until death. Now Li Shimin has a hidden murderous intent, which shows his deep resentment towards this Yuan Gai Suwen.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji came out and said, "Yuangai Suwen is extremely evil, please behead him!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead, and the rest of the ministers also echoed and asked to behead Yuan Gai Suwen.

The ministers suggested, and Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a pound in his heart.

At this time, Na Yuan Gai Suwen stood in the middle of the main hall and let out a burst of wild laughter: "Hahahaha-"

This move immediately made Li Shimin and the ministers very displeased, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately asked: "You rebel minister, why are you laughing?" ”

Yuangai Suwen said with a sad and indignant face: "I, Yuangai Suwen, is a supreme minister in Goryeo, how can life and death be determined by you now?" You have to look at my Yuan's head, and Yuan won't let you wait! ”

As he spoke, he saw this Yuan Gai Su Wen slammed into the pillar next to him, and the collision was extremely violent, and everyone couldn't help but feel that the pillar was shaking. Yuangai Suwen moved extremely fast, and even the guards next to him didn't react.

I saw that after he touched the pillar, his head immediately broke and he was bleeding, and he was dying.

Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up, walked to Yuangai Suwen's side, leaned over, and probed his snort. But I didn't feel a trace of heat.

Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Li Shimin returned to his seat again: "This Yuan Gai Suwen is also a hero, and he would rather commit suicide than be humiliated!" Okay, let's take it down and bury it! ”

The death of Yuangai Suwen was only a small wave in the middle of the Tang army in Pyongyang, and no one would pay attention to this vanquished. Not even the Goryeo nobles. They are busy flattering civil and military officials at all levels in the Tang Dynasty so that they can take the lead in the future distribution of benefits.

The family of King Rongliu was slaughtered, and King Treasure died in the fire, leaving no descendants. The bloodline of the entire Goryeo royal family was cut off at this point. Li Shimin just wanted to establish the king of Goryeo, but he couldn't find anyone. Therefore, Li Shimin decided to directly include the hometown of Goryeo into the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as Goryeo is destroyed, Baekje will be left.

At the beginning, Baekje and Goryeo went on the same expedition to Silla, and the king of Silla sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty for help. Yi Shimin decided to conquer Goryeo and Baekje.

However, as soon as the news broke, the reactions of the two countries were different. Goryeo reorganized its armament and wanted to fight with the Tang Dynasty. However, Baekje sent envoys to apologize to the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time followed Goryeo to reorganize the army for war. Such an approach at both ends of the rat made Li Shimin very unhappy.

Now, when the news of the capture of Yoongai Su-moon reached Baekje, the king of Baekje immediately sent Baekje envoys, represented by the Baekje royal family, to Pyongyang. On the third day after the Baekje envoys arrived in Pyongyang, Lee Dojong's 8,000 cavalry arrived in Pyongyang.

At that time, it was Jang Yun-moon who was in charge of the city of Pyongyang. As a result, these Goryeo envoys always stayed at Zhang Yunwen's residence and gave generous gifts. The dead skin asked Zhang Yunwen to accept it. Later, Zhang Yunwen couldn't stand their entanglement and moved to the barracks, which was better.

When Li Shimin came to Pyongyang City, these envoys asked to see him every day, but Li Shimin was unhappy that the two ends of the first Shi at the beginning of the Baekje war had not allowed the Baekje delegation to see him, which made the Baekje mission anxious. They watched outside the Goryeo palace every day, hoping that Li Shimin would be able to receive the delegation once.

Finally, after drying the mission for nearly ten days, Li Shimin still received the Baekje delegation.

The Baekje royal family took Buyeo as their surname, and the ruling class was the same Buyeo people as the Goguryeo people.

The chief envoy of this mission was a member of the Baekje royal family, named Buyeo Seong, who is said to be the uncle of the current Baekje king.

This middle-aged man named Buyeo Cheng slowly walked into the Goryeo Imperial Palace, accompanied by two deputy envoys. As soon as they entered the main hall, the three of them knelt down in unison and bowed to Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, from afar: "The criminal minister Baekje envoy Fu Yu Cheng sees His Majesty the Tang Emperor!" ”

Seeing them so respectful, Li Shimin was not too embarrassed for them, and said lightly at the moment: "Excuse me, come forward and speak!" ”

Fuyu Cheng came to the center of the hall with two deputy envoys, and just stood still, he heard Li Shimin's tepid voice: "Can you be convicted?" ”

The three of them knelt down again, kowtowed in unison, and said, "I'm waiting for the guilt!" ”

"Where is the sin?" Li Shimin still asked lightly.

After the three of them glanced at each other, Na Buyeo replied in fear: "I, Baekje, should not lead troops to invade Silla, let alone do nothing during His Majesty's crusade against Goryeo, but should actively cooperate with the Tang army to attack!" ”

Hearing the three of them say this, Li Shimin nodded with some satisfaction: "Not bad!" The people I hate the most are the people who give both ends of the first cast! If you, Baekje, could come out and deal with Goryeo together with our army when you heard that our army was attacking Goryeo, I would definitely not treat Baekje so poorly! ”

As soon as these words fell, Fu Yucheng hurriedly said: "The criminal knows his mistake, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”

In this meeting, the Baekje envoys tried their best to lower their statures and cater to this Li Shimin, and finally made Li Shimin smile and publicly stated that he would not crusade against Baekje. As soon as these words came out, Fuyu Cheng and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Just after the Baekje envoy left the main hall, Li Shimin sneered: "Hmph, if I crusade against Baekje, I can destroy it in ten days." When Silla has no rivals and will unify Baekje Silla, will I let this Silla rise and become the second Goryeo? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing beside Li Shimin, smiled coldly: "Let this Baekje and Silla fight against each other, and I will be in the east of the Tang Dynasty, so that nothing can happen!" ”
